Alkaline Trio (ou Alk3) é uma banda norte-americana de punk rock formada em Chicago. Muito do charme da banda é atribuído ao contraste dos estilos de cantar e escrever de Matt Skiba e Dan Andriano. Foi uma das primeiras bandas a unir o estilo hardcore a linhas mais melódicas assim como bandas como Fugazi e Embrace. Ao longo dos anos foram consolidando a sua carreira com um estilo básico e simples que já é sua marca.

A It's been a long day living with this F#mD It's been a long time since I felt so sick A I took a long walk straight back home F#mD I could've walked back to San Francisco A I used to long for time alone F#mD I used to long for a place of my own A And I'm losing faith in everything F#mD I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see
AF#mD x2
A I used to long for broken bones F#mD I used to long for a casket to call my own A I never had a problem facing fear F#mD But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and
F#mD Oh mercy me AE God bless catastrophe F#mD There's no way in hell AE We'll ever live to see through this so F#mED Drive yourself insane tonight F#mED It's not that far away and F#mEDA I just filled up your tank earlier today
EAD (Yeah!)
( C#BA ) [This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]
